How to open ANSYM file?

The most common problem when using Adobe Edge Animate Library Format is that a specific ANSYM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ANSYM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ANSYM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Adobe Edge Animate

The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Edge Animate program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Edge Animate into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ANSYM files.

Programs to open ANSYM file

Remember to download programs supporting ANSYM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Edge Animate with ANSYM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ANSYM file to open in the Adobe Edge Animate application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ANSYM file with the Adobe Edge Animate program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Edge Animate to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Edge Animate program with the Adobe Edge Animate Library Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANSYM file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ANSYM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ANSYM file. However, remember that not every infected ANSYM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ANSYM file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ANSYM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ANSYM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ANSYM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
